Resident urges council to consider limits on large townhomes to avoid overcrowding
Summary
Diana Baker told the council Willard should consider ordinance limits similar to Perry's change that allows "only 4-unit houses or townhomes per building and 4 buildings per acre," to prevent overcrowding in new developments.
During the open comment period, Diana Baker of 276 West 7th Street urged the council to consider measures to prevent overcrowding in new townhome developments. Baker cited an article about the nearby city of Perry and said that Perry "was amending their ordinance to allow only 4-unit houses or townhomes per building and 4 buildings per acre," recommending Willard review similar limits proactively.
Council did not take immediate action on Baker's specific recommendation during the public comment period. The matter was recorded for council consideration; subsequent agenda items focused on the RV-park ordinance and departmental reports. Baker's comment was the principal public input recorded in the open-comment segment of the meeting.
